Vts Conversion Mounts

[24seven 104]

Having major clearance issues with the vts lump going into my 309 at the moment. The master cylinder appears to need tilting upwards a huge amount (more than just a couple of washers as ive been told). Also the whole engine appears to be sat much further back which leads me to think the top mount bracket may be the wrong shape for the conversion. Comparing it to an Mi16 mount it looks swept forward relative to the cam covers where as the Mi16 one is swept backwards towards the back of the engine. Is the VTS mount the right one to use in this swap?

was it a phase 1 or 2 VTS? I do believe there may be a difference in the top arm as the phase 2 shell was altered for the EW engine.

Your phase 2 mount is no good. You need a Phase1 vts/ 306 GTI6 / 306 XSI S16 mount etc.

Thanks guys. Do I need the entire mount to the block or can I just get the top arm from the 4 nuts/bolts onwards?

Just the top arm. I have a couple spare if you want one.
